"Nothing prepared me for my first view of the Grand Canyon. I always saw pictures but they don't translate to the real thing. I stepped out of the car at the first overlook we could find and for the first time in my life I was truly blown away at its massive size and unique beauty." —Lisa Chubb Bucci

"I have been to several countries in my life, but the most beautiful place in the world is closer than you think. Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon area and the amazing turquoise waters below the falls. A must see on anyone's bucket list!" —Shirley Hoefert

"Driving east down Pennsylvania Avenue, the view of the Capitol Building and realizing the freedom that it represents, I am awed by my responsibility as a Federal employee. It doesn't get better than that!" —Carol Davison

"The Finger Lakes in New York State has got to be one of the prettiest places I've ever been. Seeing all those vineyards nestled on rolling hills high above sparkling lakes is really something special. And, to top it all off, the wine is amazing!" —Kim Price

"Olympic National Park touched my heart and fed my soul. From Ruby Beach's tempestuous coastline to the heights of the Cascade Mountains and the peacefulness of Crescent Lake I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be." —Kellie Replogle
